Ricky Shroeder silently mouthing the dialogue of each of his costars in his scenes? I remember being impressed that he remembered EVERYONE's lines so well!

Yeah I was just watching it On-Demand and noticed the same thing.

NOW a warning?!?

On Demand????? Where????

Yes, he had a problem with doing that in all of his movies and tv shows. He even did it in The Champ in a few scenes. It was amazing yet annoying at times!! I still loved "The Ricker" hehe.

That isn't anything to be impressed by.

[–] joewhiteyipee 17 years ago

Yeah...after reading I realized the way it sounded---

What I meant was I was impressed that he knew everyone's dialogue word by word...not bad for a 10 year old kid.

What do you mean by this?

[–] tibejordan 17 years ago

It's a mistake actors make. They are keeping time by going through the other actors' lines. You should never see it.

Natalie Portman does it in one scene in The Phantom Menace from what I remember.

What particular Silver Spoons episode does he do it in?

[–] JohnnyLawrence5 17 years ago

what episodes does he do this in specifically?

and is there any truth to the rumor that rick schroeder was a diva on that show? like did he really get upset over the popularity of jason batemen's character and is that why bateman never earned a spot in the begniing credits? any truth to this?

I think I've heard that. I know Bateman got popular enough to get his own show, which I think was called It's Your Move. A good show, but not on that long.

I read that is was ricks mother that did it, Not rick himself. Corky Pigeon was also removed from the show for the same reason. That is only what I read on a fan site.

Will Smith did the same thing in the Fresh Prince sitcom...
